Snail's trail - need opinions and help
I'd like to make a small quilt or wall hanging for my neighbor whose husband passed away. He was a ship captain so I'd like to incorporate a picture of his boat. I'd like to use the snail trail , but I think I'll need some help as I heard the best way to do this is with paper piecing which I've never done before. Here are a couple of my ideas.

Visit Carol Doak's website for free instruction on paper piecing and try a couple of her free blocks to get the hang of it ( some of us Love paper piecing and try to do it all the time! Carol is a great teacher- wonderful way to start.

What a sweet Idea. I love the movement of the first one.
I only made Two Snails Trails block and they were both 6 1/2" Sq. The entire background was a beach scene with sand, ocean, and sky. I did not paper piece. I had no trouble cutting and piecing the blocks. I would definitely do it again trying out a 12 1/2" Sq block.
